Expectations for Spouse:

Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, abilities, training, and the needs of the team. The spouse’s family commitments also play a role in determining the expectations for the spouse.

Children’s Educational Plan and Options:

Home schooling is available for grades K-7 as well as boarding school options for grades 8–12.

Compensation Package:

This is a partially funded position with the expectation that, once appointed, the new staff member will raise 75 percent of support costs prior to departure for Congo. Information on support costs will be made available upon application. Training and/or coaching in fundraising is available.

Whole-Life Health:

CAMA Services is the relief and development arm of the C&MA. As part of an evangelical denomination, we are committed to Biblical holism.

As you move forward in the consideration process for appointment, these will be assessed.

Important Clarification:

Applicants should be aware that serving in the international world often requires a higher degree of grace and flexibility. For example, overseas teams can be suddenly and unexpectedly impacted by illness, government decisions, financial realities, team changes, or other factors beyond the team’s control. The challenge for applicants is that these factors can sometimes necessitate the sudden redefining of a position, which may take place before, during, or after the application/interview process has begun or is completed.
